"There is a frog by the stream at the bottom of the valley, Senior Brother Lu has always wanted to tame it, but he has always been unsuccessful."

Cao Shouzhen didn't squint and said.

Yun Xuansu followed Cao Shouzhen's fingers, and sure enough, he saw a gurgling stream, and there were black scale pythons swimming in the water.

Cao Shouzhen steered the Trap Beast up a low cliff, which was on high ground and allowed them to see their surroundings clearly.

"It's so beautiful here!" Yun Xuansu raised his palms and savored the feeling of the breeze around his fingers.

Cao Shouzhen looked to the other side, where was the junction of mountains, forests and grasslands, a tiger roar came, Nobita carried He Qiong and Xiao Hei with Wang Du on their backs, and Guo Hong rode "Xiaohua" to follow.

There was a girl's silver bell-like laughter in the valley, and Cao Shouzhen's eyes were fixed on He Qiong.

"Senior Brother Cao likes Senior Sister He?" Yun Xuansu asked.

Cao Shouzhen's expression darkened, and said: "Her father disagreed, saying that the door was different, and it was broken two years ago. ”

"Don't be discouraged, it's hard to say what happens to people, maybe you will be able to raise your eyebrows and glorify your ancestors in the future!"

"Senior Brother Guo said the same thing, but I don't see any hope now, unless I become famous at the age of twenty like my master, it will be too late." Cao Shouzhen shook his head.

"That can't be decadent, although there are few Taoist priests in Hengshan who became famous in their twenties, there are also some, in addition to your master and the Xiangguo Li of the previous dynasty!"

"I heard from the people in the valley that you used to be very short and small, and your nickname was Monkey, but now you are not very strong, and you are still growing, maybe you will be a head taller than the average person in the future, could you have predicted this a few years ago?"

Cao Shouzhen lowered his head and pondered, gradually cheered up, and saluted Yun Xuansu: "Thank you, senior sister!" ”

The smile on his face was obviously much more natural than just now, but after a while, he seemed to remember something and shook his head and said, "It's still not good, Master and Uncle Tai both said that I am the shadow of Senior Brother Guo......"

"That senior sister doesn't agree with this statement, no one is someone else's shadow." Yun Xuansu continued to enlighten the young man.

"My Hengshan faction has a Tao method called Chengji, and those who practice the law need a stand-in, and Uncle Tai is the master's stand-in......"

"So you're Senior Brother Guo's stand-in? But you don't look like it, huh? You're a little shorter than him, but your arms are longer than his. Yun Xuansu looked the other party up and down.

Cao Shouzhen was a little annoyed and said, "I don't want to either, if only there was a way to grow taller." ”

Yun Xuansu said with a smile: "It's not impossible to grow taller or even shorten your arms, senior sister heard that there is a magic skill in Chang'an Buddhist Temple that can change people's shapes." ”

Cao Shouzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

At this time, two cranes suddenly sounded in the sky.

When they looked up, they saw two huge white cranes flying around Tianzhu Peak towards this side.

"It's the white crane of the Qingcheng faction!" Cao Shouzhen exclaimed, he had seen these two white cranes flying to the river carrying Guo Xingzhang and another Tsing Yi man from a distance outside the Yellow Crane Tower, and later heard from the master that the person was Chen Tao, the head of Qingcheng!

In the blink of an eye, the other party had already flown closer, and Yun Xuansu was also secretly surprised, she had never seen such a big white crane!

Someone on the crane's back shouted, "Senior Sister Yun! ”

It turned out to be Lu Zhizhen.

He didn't wait for the white crane to land, so he jumped up the low cliff and greeted Yun Xuansu.

On the other white crane also sat a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, about twenty years old, chubby, with a fat head and big ears and a simple face.

He got off the white crane, saluted Yun Xuansu, and said, "In Xiaqingcheng Chen Taihe, I have seen Elder Wang Wuyun!" ”

"It turned out to be a young master, and I have been looking up for a long time!" Yun Xuansu replied.

This person is Chen Tao's eldest son, and he is also a famous master among the younger generation, and he is famous in Sichuan for his Qingcheng Feijing swordsmanship.

Chen Taihe touched the fluffy beard on his lips, narrowed a pair of small eyes and said, "Elder Yun is here to be a witness, Chen Mou came this time because he heard that Senior Brother Guo of the Hengshan Sect has superb swordsmanship, and he wants to try it out!" ”

Yun Xuansu stood on the trap beast and pointed in the direction of the stream in the valley: "Okay, Senior Brother Guo is there, let's go over together." ”

Cao Shouzhen's cheeks twitched slightly beside him, and he said in a voice that only he and Yun Xuansu could hear: "Another one looking for abuse." ”

Cao Shouzhen manipulated the trap beast to walk to the bottom of the valley, and Lu Zhizhen accompanied Chen Taihe to follow behind.

At this time, Guo Hong and the two girls had stopped by the stream, and when they found them, they greeted them.

"Senior Brother Guo, how is today?" Lu Zhizhen asked when he met.

"Senior brother, although that frog is fascinated by the drug, it still can't be commanded." Guo Hong came over every day to play with the python in the stream.

He has been following He Deng and Lu Zhizhen to learn beast control medicine for two years, and he has already become a teacher, and he can make bait to confuse Bai Jiao by himself.

Back then, Guo Hong relied on mixed drugs to wake up He Deng, but in fact, he couldn't make bait, but now he has completely mastered every process and has become his own ability.

"This green snake is too stupid, it is estimated that Senior Brother Lu's wish will be frustrated." He Qiong said with a smile on the side.

Lu Zhizhen shook his head and said: "In the imperial beast recipe, it is said that the python is the most difficult to tame, it seems that the kung fu has not arrived, Senior Brother Guo domesticated a white Jiao for this faction as a flying boat and force, this frog is similar to the white Jiao, I work hard every day, and I will always get what I want." ”

"Senior Brother Lu has been studying, and he has more work than I can do." Guo Hong said to Yun Xuansu with a smile.

Lu Zhizhen blushed and said: "I just love this, my qualifications are reckless, and I can't compare to Senior Brother Guo!" ”

Guo Hong's beast control technique is blue, and it has surpassed Lu Zhizhen's level of approaching He Deng.

Lu Zhizhen was inspired to catch up, and always wanted to prove his strength with the domesticated green python.

Yun Xuansu has also discovered these days that in addition to accompanying himself, he is going to be with those fierce beasts.

Lu Zhizhen immediately introduced Chen Taihe behind him to Guo Hong, He Qiong and Wang Dudu.

Guo Hong learned of Chen Taihe's intention, smiled and said, "Then let's compare here." ”

Mrs. Chen's fat face was stunned, and he said: "I don't take advantage of my junior brother, you are young, your strength must be insufficient, we don't use strength, how about a purely sword move?" ”

Cao Shouzhen held the water bag to drink, and when he heard it, he squirted out, coughed a few times to ease up, and then whispered to Yun Xuansu: "This fat man is very cunning, I must have heard that my junior brother can use a sword to control electricity, so he deliberately said this." ”

Chen Taihe walked to the open area in a serious manner, took out his long sword, and put on a starting hand in the flying spirit swordsmanship "Hidden Dragon and Phoenix", and said: "How old is Chen, junior brother first." ”

"Okay." Guo Hong pulled out the sword from behind his back, and held it with both fists, like the gift of the chief, this move is called "Ji Heng Zaide", which is a move to show respect in Hengshan swordsmanship.

In the past two years, he has studied under Liu Yuanjing and Liu Tai, practiced Hengshan swordsmanship thoroughly, and is good at using the power of thunder and lightning, and has been known as the first master of the young generation in the rivers and lakes!

There is Qingcheng swordsmanship in Han Huayang's Taoist book, and Guo Hong has also practiced it secretly, so it can be said that he knows himself and his opponent.

And Chen Taihe didn't know that the opponent had already been able to see through his every move, otherwise he wouldn't have the heart to compete at all.

The two of you come and I go back and forth, Yun Xuansu looked at it and nodded again and again, Chen Taihe's swordsmanship is not weak, and he is also a handsome man for a while.

Qingcheng Feijing Sword Method, also known as Qingjing Sword Method, is frequently mentioned in Taoist books, is one of the two secret legends of the Immortal Family, and the other is the internal alchemy method, the two often appear together, and Taiyi Daogui Fire Fu is called the three major thaumaturgy of Qingcheng!

Feijing's swordsmanship moves are strange, which is in line with the pattern of Qingcheng's secluded world, and is more wonderful than the Hengshan swordsmanship used by Guo Hong, which belongs to the secret tradition, and it is also what Xue Jichang, the patriarch of Hengshan, did not learn when he went to Qingcheng Mountain.

Yun Xuansu took a general look at the Hengshan swordsmanship this month, this set of swordsmanship was originally transformed by Xue Jichang from the Qingcheng swordsmanship, and after seventy or eighty years of evolution, it has been changed beyond recognition.

In ancient times, Hengshan was considered to be the center of the earth, corresponding to the stars, and could weigh the heavens and the earth.

According to Xue Jichang and his younger disciples, according to their understanding of Hengshan, they removed many dangerous moves in the Qingcheng swordsmanship, and made this set of swordsmanship thicker, so that it had a sense of grandeur.

At this time, Guo Hong stood still and did not move, and his moves opened and closed.

And Chen Taihe circled around him, constantly changing his moves.

Both sides did not use strength, and they were purely tested by tricks, so the weapons in their hands did not intersect once in the past ten moves.

The onlookers saw a big fat man circling around a fifteen-year-old boy, approaching and retreating, unpredictable and unpredictable, and secretly funny.

Mrs. Chen and herself felt miserable.

Although the opponent's moves are not surprising, they are always just right, always one step ahead, and the sword points to the key point where his front and back moves are connected, so that he has to change his moves accordingly, and his body is indescribably awkward, and he almost sprained several times.

That is, Chen Taihe is very familiar with the flying spirit swordsmanship, so he can react in an instant.

He really had the feeling of facing his father's feeding moves, although he had been revolving around Guo Hong, he was on the defensive side.

After a few more moves, he gradually felt haggard, his face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

Chen Taihe knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to turn defense into offense, and used the "Ning Feng Youlong" known as the Absolute Sword Style in the Feijing Sword Technique.

This trick is borrowed from Ning Fengzi to teach the Yellow Emperor "the art of the dragon" allusion, pay attention to the body is like a dragon, there is a sense of controlling the wind and clouds, after the completion of the Dacheng to achieve the degree of looking ahead, the degree of being behind, is the most mysterious and complicated trick in the flying spirit swordsmanship.

He couldn't control this trick yet, and there was a danger of getting out of control, so he didn't plan to use it, but now that his feet were weak, he knew that defeat was imminent, and he couldn't care much about it with a breath in his heart.

Guo Hong's body moved slightly, and he slashed three swords in a row, which was the "Zhurong Sitian" in the last three styles of Hengshan swordsmanship.

Tang Xuanzong named the Emperor Nanyue as the king of Si Tian, and enjoyed the sacrifice with fire, this move was like a fire in the plain, and the power was extremely victorious.

Chen Taihe felt that Guo Hong's three swords were all slashed in the critical places, and he was forced to constantly change the footwork of the dragon.

Ning Feng Youlong's powerful killing move was forced to turn to defense, and one card after card was so uncomfortable that he finally took the initiative to send it to the opponent's sword!

He shouted, forcibly moved his body to the side by half an inch, and quickly returned to his sword to block the last slash, and in a hurry, he used all his strength, and the two swords intersected heavily and sparked a string of sparks!

"No more fighting, no fighting!"

Chen Taihe took a few steps back, sat on the ground with his buttocks, threw away the long sword, his hands kept shaking, panting heavily, and his face was sweating like rain.

Guo Hong was also covered in sweat, slightly arched his hand, and put his sword into the sheath.

"Senior Brother Guo really lives up to his reputation, Chen is willing to bow down!"

"Agreed!"

Guo Hong felt that it was a bit invincible, and Han Huayang's Taoist book should be sent to Qingcheng again in the future, otherwise it would be a little embarrassing to face.

Chen Taihe rested for a while before standing up, this competition was too exhausting, and he felt that his swordsmanship seemed to have touched a little way, as long as he went back and pondered it, he could break through!

He said to Guo Hong: "Chen came to Hengshan this time to compete in the second place, mainly because he sent a letter to his junior brother on the order of his father. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over.

Guo Hongzheng opened it and saw that it was a letter from Chen Tao, the head of Qingcheng.

The letter said that Xuanyuan Ji received an edict from the Empress Dowager a few months ago, asking Guo Hong to go to Chang'an.

Empress Dowager Guo left relics in the palace before her death, and asked him to go to Chang'an Qinrenfang to find a person named Guo Congshi, and obtain further information with the tokens.

Chen Taihe handed over a piece of purple jade pendant as a token to Guo Hong, and said: "This matter should not be delayed, I heard that the Shence Army has been building a lot of construction in the palace in recent years, and Uncle Xuanyuan and his father think that they are hiding people's eyes and ears, and their real purpose is to dig three feet into the ground and find the treasures of the Queen Mother, and later forced the Queen Mother to death." ”

Guo Hong took it and looked at it, the jade pendant was missing a corner, there were two small characters "Nianyun" in the middle, and there was a very unique pattern on the back, so he asked: "Kill the Queen Mother!" So who killed the Queen Mother? ”

"According to the person who went to deliver the message to Master Xuanyuan, it was Ma Yuanzhen, the left lieutenant of Shence, who kept persecuting, and the queen mother climbed the tall building and wanted to jump down to commit suicide, but was stopped by the accompanying palace people, and the emperor was very unhappy when he found out, and let people kill her with poisoned wine that night."

Guo Hong asked again: "Since the Queen Mother has spread the news to Luofu Mountain, why did she convey it through Lingzun?" ”

Chen Taihe said: "Uncle Xuanyuan came to look for his father that day, saying that he was not on good terms with Uncle Liu of Hengshan, and he was afraid that it would be a bad thing, so he asked his father to relay the news in the middle. ”

Guo Hong made a mockery and said, "Thank you so much to Sect Chen and Senior Brother Chen Gao Yi for their hard work and thousands of miles to spread the message." ”

"You're welcome, Uncle Xuanyuan and my father talked about Senior Brother Guo, known as the first swordsmanship among the younger generation, Chen didn't believe it, but he was well-known after a try today!"

Chen Taihe also knew that Guo Hong deliberately wanted to let the other party use the power of thunder and lightning, and he would not be able to hold his sword steadily, but he was afraid that he would be dead on the spot in a few moves.

How did this kid practice?

How can it be so powerful?

He said to Guo Hong: "When my father and junior brother saw each other in the Yellow Crane Tower, they fell in love and asked me to bring you a gift. ”

He pointed to the two white cranes he had brought, and said, "This time I brought two white cranes, one for my junior brother!" ”

Guo Hong's vision is too high, and he can't look down on ordinary beasts.

Although the white Jiao Qingjiao is infinitely powerful, its speed is too touching, and it can't catch up with the enemy at all, so it hasn't caught its own royal beast for the past two years.

This xenomorph crane made him overjoyed, and he even thanked him.

He Qiong couldn't bear it anymore, and came up to pet the white crane, but was pecked by the big bird, and was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

Chen Taihe hurriedly drank the white crane, and taught the method of controlling the crane to Guo Hong.

After practicing like this for a long time, Guo Hong flew around the mountain on a crane, riding the wind and swaying, and was already able to control it preliminarily.

Chen Taihe said that this crane is still very young, so that Guo Hong can get closer every day, so that they can communicate with each other in the future.

He Qiong was envious on the side, but the white crane seemed to recognize it, so he didn't let her approach......

Then Guo Hong returned to the workshop to make arrangements, and took out a lot of things and packed them into his bags.

Yun Xuansu and the others couldn't see the use at all.

Then everyone took the wooden kite and the white crane back to the mountain road, and soon came to the top of Zhurong Peak.

Outside the stone room of the retreat, Guo Hong knelt down at the foot of the steps and explained the matter.

The others retreated temporarily, Liu Yuanjing let Guo Hong enter the room, closed the door and lit the candles, and the master and apprentice sat down and talked for a long time.

"What do you think?"

Guo Hong said: "Master, my cultivation of the "Huang Ting Sutra" has stagnated in the past two years, and I originally wanted to go out to find opportunities. ”

There are three layers of internal power in the "Huang Ting Jing", with nine layers of each.

Ever since he had refined the Nine Palaces of the Lower Yellow Court two years ago, he had only increased his strength, but he had not been able to enter the Second Layer of the Middle Yellow Court.

At that time, Liu Yuanjing said that the Taiyi Jun he saw was imaginary, and he would understand that it was all false when he grew up.

As he grew older, there were no more immortals around him, and Guo Hong began to doubt himself in his heart, could it be that he was poisoned and hallucinated?

"Okay, since it is the Empress Dowager's deathbed order, you will go to Chang'an. I don't think she knew you were in Hengshan, so she sent a message to Xuanyuan Ji and wanted him to take you there.

"Now that your martial arts and mind are the best choice, you don't need to be a teacher to follow you to go to the rivers and lakes, this time you will choose one or two people from the senior brothers to go together, which can be regarded as a response."

At that time, Liu Yuanjing said that Xuanyuan Ji swore not to enter within a hundred miles of Hengshan, so his Taoist boy Feng was hiding near here, Guo Hong asked the reason, but the master refused to say it clearly.

Guo Hong asked the question that had been in his heart for two years: "Master, what are your entanglements with Master Xuanyuan, and why are you also a disciple of Fujiao regarded as a passerby." ”

Liu Yuanjing said: "This matter is a long story...... Thirty years ago, he was young and vigorous as a teacher, after taking charge of the Hengshan faction, he drove the Xuanyuan family and the Deng family to Luofu, Xuanyuan Ji went to Qingcheng to learn Taoism when he was young, and worshiped in Qingcheng to teach Huayangzi, and Chen Tao is a senior brother, after hearing the news, Hengshan competed with the teacher, so he formed a grudge...... Five years ago, you Zhao Guizhen was the middle man, and it was considered a reconciliation...... But three years ago, Xuanyuan Ji kidnapped you, and he didn't explain the reason to the sect, so he caused a misunderstanding, and sent several teachers and nephews to chase after him and Tiantai, and finally fought hard...... In fact, now the teacher also knows that he was wrongly blamed back then, but both sides can't let go, so they are so stiff. ”

As soon as Guo Hong heard it, he knew that Liu Yuanjing must not have beaten Xuanyuan Ji in the martial arts competition back then, otherwise he would not have used the words "to settle a grudge".

However, this is the master's territory, and at that time, there was still a friend Zhou Mingxi, and there were quite a few strong martial arts under him, so naturally he would not let the other party regain the foundation.

The Four Wonders of Daomen, Xuanyuan Ji and Chen Tao are among them, while Zhao Guizhen and Master are not on the list, and they seem to be in the second echelon.

"That apprentice went to Chang'an with Senior Sister Yun this time, and by the way, he rescued the little junior sister named Yu Xuanji."
